Where was Maradona when the entire country placed their hope for WC victory on Messi’s sagging shoulders? And did Messi rebuff the over-hype and reminded his compatriots that soccer was a team sport? He enjoyed the spotlight, and didn’t even mention a single Nigerian player as a threat. If we didn’t have a coach who was bereft of the knowledge of modern day football tactics, the SE would have sent him home earlier. I wish the blessed SK were around. He would have stood at the sidelines and dished out spot-on instructions for his boys to finish off this arrogant Messi. A beg make I hear word.
